Climbing ever higher each time

Ever further to fall into decline

Rods of sanity broken true

Lies of deception from you

Thawing ice flooding streams

Invasion of water in my dreams

Salvation found in salivating

From distant images recreating

Half dragon and half cat met

Lofty goals of the Devil’s pet

Searing love that is never found

Buried mere inches underground

Scratching nails to dig through

Break the bonds of external glue

I slowly climb up each slippery rung

To slide back down to the place I begun
